The original poster on this thread said "I believe" that GW is coming. That was not an incorrect post. AO himself said on Saturday after the race that the mile was very likely.

It looks to me like you may be the one just throwing up anything.

Sorry. I am used to reading a board where people have to stick to facts. Not pull things out of the air. This is the "National Enquirer" of horse racing message boards. Now I see why my brother posts here.

" Facts " are a pretty elusive thing in horse racing in general.

You should get to know some of the people here before insulting them.

Or not.

It is no crime to say that you believe GW is coming. Of course its not a fact until its official but nowhere did the poster imply anything about knowing this to be a fact.

Did you also fire off an angry missive to AO about not sticking to the facts during a live interview at Ascot where he said that basically that the BC mile was indeed the race that they were looking at. Since it was not actually a fact at that time should he be accused of pulling things out of the air?

If you think you've provided some valuable lesson about information, think again.

Well when it comes to Gorella, I get my information from Biacone. According to him, Gorella is most likely to go in the Filly and Mare turf. Now if GW goes in the mile, then Gorella is going in the Filly and Mare Turf. If GW doesnt, then Gorella is still more than likely to go to the Filly and Mare turf. Now, I also hear from the same person that GW is almost certain to go in the Mile--again, it is the mile or no race at all. This is info from the trainer of Gorella.

What a load of tosh has been spouted on this thread!

It's quite simple. George Washington is being aimed at the mile but, as we know, in racing anything can happen. He might step on a stone 2 days before the race, or get cast in his box. So of course its impossible for anyone to say he's going to run. He's being aimed at the race. BTW in the absence of Iffraaj, he's been shortened in the betting, as short as 5/4, but with 7/4 available with Coral and Hills.

The Classic is not on the cards at all, because there's no way they'd chance his stamina in a race like that first time on dirt. Whoever mentioned the possibility of that race needs to get a grip on reality!

Where do I get this grip that I so desperately need?
